Removing those channels from the figure will have a big impact on screen redraw speed and allow for more duplicates from the point of view of working with the scene. Maybe need a figure to prop function as part of the process. Propagation of changes from the master to the instances is another element that could be considered a quality of instancing, so if the pose of the master figure, morph or shader changed it would also appear in the instances. Not sure how to do this, thought was to delete and reinsert the duplicates, maybe Poser has an inbuilt feature to make this easier.
